Replaceable

You lied

I feel inadequate

Just for the hell of it

You crave danger

Purely for the smell of it,

and I'm out cold

Wondering why you spend hours on the phone

My voice?

You don't remember it

So easily replaceable

You lied,

and said my eyes were unmistakable

When you wished somebody else was looking at you

Tell me they don't compare to me too

I feel inadequate

Just for the hell of it

You crave danger

Purely for the smell of it,

and I'm out cold

Wondering why you spend hours on the phone

My voice?

You don't remember it

So easily replaceable

You lied,

and said my eyes were unmistakable

When you wished somebody else was looking at you

Tell me they don't compare to me too
